St Martin Shaving Soap

Ms. Confilo has very long hair and unknown to me a SHAD (Shampoo acquisition Disorder) Last Saturday there was a mid size box from France addressed to her and inside a glass bottle of shampoo, two sample soaps and what looked like dried cottage cheese in a shaving soap bowl without lid.
All wrapped very nicely in color tissue paper.
It seems that the Ms also ordered some shaving soap for yours truly, so I can't say anything about a bottle of shampoo worth I think $38.
The soap came with a paper with French instructions that Ms Confilo translated.
It is terrific! lots of lather, cushiony and slick and whenever I used it not even a weeper or burn.
Downside: the scent is very clean but slightly medicinal and is not a tallow based soap but it doesn't need to be. IMO it gives tallow soaps a run for their money.
After using it, you let it dry in a cool dry place until you shave again. No lid, the bowl is filled with the cottage cheese looking soap above the rim and being a huge bowl there is soap for many more smooth shaves.
This soap is better than French Fries

Cool! Sounds like an exact description of Martin de Candre in the wooden bowl.
